This morning, the sun rose at 6am. My parents called my room at around 6.30am and told my sister and I to get ready for breakfast in 15mins. I told my sister, and dropped back into a deep sleep. I didn't wake up until my dad came knocking at the door.
After that, we went for breakfast at the restaurant we went to for dinner last night. We had free breakfast coupons. There was a great variety of food there. I am not a bread enthusiast, but I decided to toast one for fun this morning. I dropped the bread onto the rotating wheel, and waited for it to drop at the bottom. Just as it was about to fall, I saw an abandoned peice of bread stuck at the back of the toster. It was obstructing my path. The rest of the story is expected. My bread got caught there and I gave up eating bread that morning. But don't worry, I ate other stuff.
After breakfast, We went to change into our swimming costumes to go to the beach. The sun was really very hot. Jean, dad and I went kayaking. We rented a two-man kayak and took turns. The first turn I went on, I went with my sister. As we circled around, we saw a pink jellyfish. We tried to take a picture of it but we didn't have a camera and my mother was very certain it would land in the water. After kayaking abit more, I got tired and started splashing water on myself As my hand reached into the water, I saw this grey jellyfish. I got a shock and immediately pulled my hand out of the water. After that, I won a game of "scissors, paper, stone" with my sister and kayaked with my dad. I took him to the same spot but the jellyfish seemed to have swum away. After searching some more, we found another jellyfish. This time, my dad took his paddle and scooped up the jellyfish. Wait, that's not it. Then, he flicked it towards me. We almost capsized. After 2 rounds, I rode with my sister again. We searched for more jellyfish. We found 2 more and tried to guide it to the sand to take a picture of it. But we ended up turning in circles and eventually lost sight of them each time. Then, hooray! We Saw a green one! My sister, dad and I spent 10 minutes trying to overcome waves and flick the jellyfish onto the sand. Eventually, we succeeded. But the jellyfish looked unconscious. My sister and I came up with the ingenius idea of using our hands to carry water over to the sand and flick it on the jellyfish. We exercised alot. After taking some photos of our catch, we had a hard time thinking of how to get the jellyfish back into the water. None of us wanted to carry it. Oh! Let me add, I touched the jellyfish's head. It felt slimy and gooey. Getting back to the story, so we had to build a canal leading to the sea. My dad eventually got impatient and just kicked it all the way.
My sister and I followed it out until it was too deep for us. Oh, I forgot to mention, we didn't murder the jellyfish! We kept it well and alive and it eventually regained consciuosness and started swimming. After that, we swam back to shore. Suddenly, I saw a brown jellyfish beside my sister. When I told her, she nearly jumped on me.
After that, I lay down on a hammok secured by 2 coconut trees. After swinging for a while, my sister and I went to the swimming pool to swim. It was so irregularly shaped and large that we could only swim properly by going along the perimeter. At 10.45am, we went back to our rooms to shower. I think I am slightly sunburnt already. The temperature is at least 34 degrees c i think. When I finished showering, I saw my dad and sister in my room watching Power Puff Girls on cartoon network. I nearly burst out laughing. A 13.5 year old and a 42.5 year old. Sigh.. I think they're really bored. When I went out of my room, my glasses fogged up unitl I reached this business centre. Oh, and I lost my way. I still cant walk to destinations properly. I left my room first but entered the business room later than my sister. Sigh. I need a map!
Last night: After dinner, my sister and I went to the business centre. After that, yes, we couldn't find our way back. It was so dark, we couldn't see the paths and had to depend on the minimal amount of light a handphone screen can give. We reached the room 10mins longer than normal.
Now: It's 1.35pm in vietnam. We are going to Hoi An City. We're taking the van from the resort. And the temperature is rising steadily. For now, no pictures yet. I will put them maybe tomorrow or when I get back to singapore.
Later: I will try to post at night about Hoi An City.
